TUESDAY- 22nd WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME -A
Gospel: Luke:4:31-37: I know who you are: The Holy One of God.
I Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6.9-11: Christ died for us,
so that we should live united to him.
Jesus Ministers and Makes an Amazing impact:
A Day in the Life of Jesus, Lk 4:31-44
This is
one of the most interesting passages in all of Scripture. This is the very
beginning, the very launch of Jesus’ ministry. Note how busy and pressuring and
tiring the day was, and note the powerful lessons applicable to our lives.
1. Jesus
went down to Capernaum (v.31)
2. He
taught in the morning service with authority (v.32)
3. He
delivered the most unclean (33-37)
a. A man
with an unclean spirit sat in worship
1) Evil
spirits acknowledged Jesus’ deity
2) Jesus
rebuked the evil acknowledgement
3) Jesus
cast out the unclean spirit
b. The
people were amazed
c. The
spirit spread His fame
Thought: The person who
is morally unclean and dirty is in desperate straits. He is gripped by an evil
force that cries out in the very face of God…
Jesus cast out the evil
spirit and saved the man. How? By His Word, by simply saying, “Be quiet…come
out of him!” Note the great power of the Lord’s Word. ?(Mt 28:18; Jn 17:2)
